Mr Thalliox aka Linux Neophite,
Thanks and thanks a lot!!!
Your solution works!!!
Thanks for your help and other people too who gave me some advice on the

Other Linuxers, I feel that this solution should be noted down fro future
reference. I know I have.
Thanks again.
Best Regards
Joe
The Happy Linuxer
